Good morning. Earlier today, district administration was made aware that a student brought one 9mm bullet to school at CES. Local law enforcement and the CES threat assessment team were immediately contacted.
Please know the student did not make any threats, and it was determined no students are in danger. We simply write to inform you of this incident because it is our belief to be honest and transparent with parents about what happens at school.
Our district takes this matter very seriously and disciplinary actions will be taken in accordance with state law and our school code. The safety and security of our students will always be our top priority.
Lastly, we believe this situation is a good opportunity for you to talk to your child or children about bringing inappropriate items to school and the potential disciplinary action that could result from bringing prohibited items to school. When speaking to your child or children, please remind them if they see something, say something. Today’s incident was resolved in a quick and safe manner because students reported the incident to administration.
Important information from the nurse's office:
The Illinois State Board of Education requires students in Kindergarten, 2nd, 6th, and 12th be in compliance with the state health requirements. Parents/Guardians have been notified by the school nurse via phone call and letter mailed home. If your child is noncompliant upon returning from Fall break, he/she will not be eligible to attend school. Please contact the nurse's office with questions.
Late this evening, we were made aware of a possible threat to school safety that was posted on social media. Immediately, with the help of the Christopher Police Department, we began the process of conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. The social media post has been deemed not credible.
The well-being of our students is our top priority, so we wanted to inform you of this incident and assure you it is safe for your child to attend school.
We want to thank the Christopher Police Department and ISP for their quick and professional response.
